Uncovering and quantifying the subduction zone sulfur cycle from the slab perspective

JL Li, EM Schwarzenbach, T John, JJ Ague… - Nature …, 2020 - nature.com
Sulfur belongs among H2O, CO2, and Cl as one of the key volatiles in Earth's chemical

Episodic stress and fluid pressure cycling in subducting oceanic crust during slow slip

E Warren-Smith, B Fry, L Wallace, E Chon… - Nature …, 2019 - nature.com
Slow slip events are part of a spectrum of aseismic processes that relieve tectonic stress on
faults. Their spatial distribution in subduction zones has been linked to perturbations in fluid …

Slab-derived devolatilization fluids oxidized by subducted metasedimentary rocks

JJ Ague, S Tassara, ME Holycross, JL Li, E Cottrell… - Nature …, 2022 - nature.com
Metamorphic devolatilization of subducted slabs generates aqueous fluids that ascend into
